Have a 1999 honda 300 4x4 have put 25 and 24 inch vampires on it and it will climp trees almost. But it still rides like log wagon. Has anyone used progressive suspension brand shocks before and will they help what seems like 2 inches of travel on old red? Also will the k&n power kit help give it a little better horse for the extra inch of tires. Thanks for any help.

I'm just the person your lookin for. I've got a 99 300 4x4 and i love it. I've got 26 and 25 inch vampires on mine though. The KandN Power kit wont be enough i think. I installed a highlifter lift kit, and monster performance kit on mine. The mud where i ride is so thick that before my mods, my tires would not even turn at all in the goop. But now thanks to high lifter, i can hang with anything stock out there, and i can go anywhere a sportsman 500 with 26in mudrunners on it can go. About the suspension, i'm not sure, but email jeff at highlifter and he would know.

 

thanks hondaman
I do love my 300 and did get lift kit form hilifter also vampires are great will get on phone tomarrow with hilifter and get pipe and k&n kit. It is fun to have a little 300 and have to pull out bigger and bader 4 wheelers with the old die hard honda.

thanks

I agree with you both. I have a 96 300 4x4. And I love one of the best bikes built.

 

being's how i had an 88 300 4wd i think i can add if you put those tires on ofcourse its going to kill the power and give u all the eye popin take off of an oil tanker the vamp's are the heaviest mud tire u can buy HELLO!! u don t have a griz anyways i loved my 300 i whent thro the thick crap with my 300 with hafe wore out stock tire's
i don t see why u need that much tire on that poor 300 ground clearnce is always good but dam how much are u willing to pay with power?

 

I would try to go with a UNI over a K&N Filter. I didn't believe all of the "My K&N Destroyed my motor!" posts, but after running one on my recon for about a year, my engine needs a new piston and rings.
